    08 mini r52. Started off with just the trunk lid. would not open. Replaced the switch behind the spring loaded cable puller. Trunk lid still does not open. After switch replacement and testing now the doors will not unlock and it is intermittent, it will unlock several times then stop, then work again a couple times and then stop. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    How old is the battery?

    Do your gauges bounce when you put the key in and turn to the start position?

    Is there any water on the passenger side carpet?

    Have you tried the interior lock switch to see if that is working properly?

    If that is working properly, then I'd be suspect of the key fob battery.

    it's not working correctly either. This is the wifes car and she said it has been fine other than the trunk lid not opening
